Weird thing on stars 25/50
 

ok, so this guy was playing on stars 25/50 just now... and idk if some glitches were happening or what, but if you looked at his name on the table it said "mel". in the hand history, however, he's listed as "pmel". and if you just look at who won the hand in the HH section, he's listed as "nmel". wtf?

Seat 3: Marion (big blind) folded on the Flop
Seat 5: pmel collected ($597)

Seat 8: alexandern folded on the Turn

Exhibit B:
Dealer: Game #13345843720: nmel wins pot ($597)

and at the table, his name just said mel. i know this isn't important and very irrelevant, feel free to flame/lock/whatever but i just thought it was very strange.

very odd... someone want to email support and ask them to comment?

Re: Weird thing on stars 25/50
 

what was with that guy who kept changing his name in HU games on FTP?

would have his opponent's name followed by 'sucks' etc..

or did he just have 12 accounts?

Re: Weird thing on stars 25/50
 

not exactly related but i remember seeing a 25/50 game where 2 guys were playing heads up but the surrounding seats were flashing different names of people sitting in for a second and then leaving. at first i thought it was some goofballs messing around but then i saw joe hachems name sit and leave one second later.

thought that was pretty weird. some kind of glitch in the system maybe?

Re: Weird thing on stars 25/50
 

I know there are some known glitches in Star's hand history system, sometimes on the first hand of a tourney the board cards are wrong in the hand history on the river and in the summary at the end of the hand. I wrote to Stars about this a few weeks ago and they said it was a known issue they would fix soon that only occurred on the first hand of a tournament. This might be related but then maybe not, who knows.

Nobody is ever gonna top absolut who award the pot to someone with 22 low vs someone with AA low in razz.

At least the HH was right tho.

The Hand History is displaying correctly for me for this hand, and the player's User ID is 'Ï€mel' in every place where it occurs. The player is not currently logged in so I cannot check if their name is displaying correctly for me at the tables.

I think that it may be displaying strangely for you as a result of you not having a character set which includes Ï and €.
